Throughout the years past 1997, Muslim students in Indiana used to gather at the HUB, IUP to hold their Jumu'ah prayers. With the increase in number and for the need to have a place that can accommodate the five daily prayers, a group of students decided to rent a place off campus for the five daily prayers. After that, the Muslims in Indiana decided to go a step forward and managed to establish a non-profit organization with the hope that it would lead to the foundation of an Islamic Center in Indiana. The hopes came true and Muslims in Indiana ended up with the foundation of ICIP.

ICIP is a contribution of many Muslims who felt the obligation to serve the community and found a non-profit organization to provide the community with its spiritual and cultural needs. All praise be to Allah, the founders with the consistent trust in Allah have managed to start the project in 1995 and achieve its ultimate goal in 1997, a spacious building that houses the mosque and the Islamic center's activities. These founders have included Yousif AlMuzaini, Ph.D.; and AbdulIlah Sehlawi, MA. These people were the Islamic Center Project officers. Another group of Muslims were involved in the fundraising efforts which took place in so many Islamic centers and several Islamic annual conventions like IANA and MAYA.
